After upgrading my HP Mini to Windows 7, I found a HUGE difference in heat, I can barely touch the bottom of the netbook!

Have anyone else noticed this in Windows 7 ??

Isn’t there any software which will control the cpu speed and monitors temperature also ??

Hi Henry Hill,
There is no way to reduce heat for HP Mini but you can use notebook cooler to help. It is best to use in the air con room only actually.

Please suggest how to reduce such heat for HP Mini. I am fed up using it for more then 30 minute on my lap. Pretty hot. Thanks.

i’m suprised, never considered that the top could get that hot! this eee900linux is pretty chilled, a bit of a shock from the bottom sometimes but only when the vent’s been covered! the keypad or touchpad have never gotten hot enough to mention, maybe it was just a particularly hot episode…

still, don’t know why there’s not many contributors to these comments here, is nobody concerned about burnout? i was hoping there would be a market for cooling bases to put laptops on for prolonged home or office use, “coolpads”?

meant to say though the bottom does not get as hot as many other laptops i have used, but it is warm.

I have an eee pc 900 i have windows xp installed and crammed ith apps (Visual studio 2005, office 2007 etc) it works great but you really notice the heat. they keyboard is fine as your fingers dont spend so long in cotact with the keys and they dont consuct too much. the track pad is annoying though, it conducts heat better than the rest of the case and you have your fingers in contact with it for long times (rubbing across the surface too!). i dont think its going to burn me but it is uncomfortable and feels way to close to physically damaging temperatures for this part of a consumer product. It is so hot that recentlly when i had a small cut on my first finger i could not use it as it was just too sore! – seems petty but it ws really annoying.

have to say though it is an amazing machine and i would not give it up for that! I cant beleive how well it runs! – just make sure you have a mouse with you whenever possible!

I have an old Dell x300. Love the size, but you could fry an egg on the bottom some times. I wonder if all that heat can be damaging the inside motherboard/cpu?
